What a mix! And you stuck to the plan born at Horisont V about painting a female DreadBall team, I see  :D

Yes, I got one as a Christmas present, so hopefuly I will have it painted soon, so I can try out the game  :)

I have a human team primed in the paint queue, but I don't think I'll get around to it until a Sci-Fi painting club is initiated  lol

Tons of zeds to do for Pike & Shot and Zombies plus Dead walk Again.  ;D

I've worked my way through this whole thread over the last couple of days. I'm unbelievably jealous. I used to have a nice little area in our utility room where I could paint stuff and leave all my bits and bobs lying around (as it were):



(this was the workbench while I was in the middle of tidying up a WW2 Japanese officer's sword that the previous owner had left in our house when we bought it - no, seriously)

Unfortunately, we bought a tumble dryer and it's replaced the workbench. I now have to get all my stuff out every time I want to paint anything, and then put it away at the end of the evening. Consequently I've done next to nothing for months, except a little bit of a couple of 1/72 Revell kits with the kids.
 :(

Still, having seen some of the solutions on this thread, necessity is the mother of invention *and* the handmaiden of harmonious marriage, so I'll come up with some way of doing this in the living room while the lovely Mrs K is watching her girly nonsense.

My messy workbench - just for you scrivs!  lol



A full day of work, and more to do tomorrow. It can't be pristine all the time, can it?  :D
Oh dear, that's almost Teutonic!

I'm a new guy here and Thanks for showing off your work areas, great inspiration and motivation.  I just moved and I'm really in flux, but this was my clean bench at the old house, I had to leave the old desk and so I have to replace it.

This is my paint shaker, I really got tired of shaking all those little bottles

Currently on holiday in a Cornish Cottage, so have a temporary workbench:



A bunch of paints in a 4L Really Useful in the window bottom, an upturned Really Useful lid with a cutting mat as my painting area, my daylight lamp and Samsung Tab 3 for reference and playing 6 Music throughout the day.

Eagle eyed readers will notice Carcassone and Guillotine too, for the record I just won the Holiday Carcassone tournament, but Victoria thrashed me at Guillotine.

Current impressions of my workbench:



Trying to keep the paints organized


But, alas:


The actual workspace:


And, yes, that glass contains actual, homebrewed mead, No pain(t) station is complete without it!!  :-*

This is my main workbench, its an 8x10 shed, complete with a/c, heater, laptop, stereo,etc. i paint figures in here, in my garage, I have a second workbench for working on terrain, and larger models, etc.  I spend as much time here as possible to keep my sanity.  It is my "Fortress of Solitude". If you have the room to build one, I highly recommend it.

Mead... Unless you are a brewmeister of previously unheard skills, I'd rather drink the contents of the cleaning pot.

Nice shack.

In addition to my workplace, I have almost finished readying my garage attic for gaming:



The bar needs a little work  :D
